sorry so slow with the updates the holidays were very busy. so we have about a couple more weeks until i plan to harvest. hopefully i'll get lots of viable seeds. the clones aren't doing to badly lots of the clones ended up being male, but there are a few that ended up being female. i left them in the cloner because they still seem too small. lucky me the male ones ended up being larger than the female clones when i removed some from the cloner and shifted them around. my camera skills have improved a little bit.

whooo its been a long time since i updated i got lots of pictures. anyway the grow and the harvest went well. Some things to mention, grand daddy purp really wasnt as indica dominant as i thought it would be, and definatly wasnt as purple as i thought it would be. after 75 days or so with steady temps of no higher than 68 degrees F, all the fan leaves did not turn purple and only the top buds got dark purple. the strain is easy to grow though and easy to clone for the most part. the clones are coming along nicely i think after these clones are done we'll be doing a different purple strain and i'll give my thoughts on it. after this last run of GDP, i'll be buying something called ultimate purple from TGA genetics. anyway here are some pictures.

I do a lot of pollen chucking too but collect the pollen away from the girls and dust some buds on the lower branches so the main crop isn't full of seeds and my yields aren't impacted.

Beware of exploding joints or bowls!

xox · Mar 21, 2017

your right it is ALOT of seeds, but i'll have an almost unlimited supply to look for a nice pheno in the future. no exploding bowls for me aha, i've crushed all the flowers and ran everything through a screen to separate all the nice mature seeds. i've jarred the rest to be turned into hash at a later date. i will post about my hash making experience in the future. anyway here is another update all the clones are now into 5gal buckets there all about 16" tall now with lots of side branching filling in very nicely. i've flipped the lights as well. im also getting somewhat better camera skills as i go :joint:

That will look nice all budded up.

sorry i abandoned my thread for so long still playing around with the grand daddy purp genetics. i didnt have much luck with the seeds from the pack i purchased but the seeds that i got from chucking pollen around my room are fire. definatly better than the first couple grows with seeds from the pack. here are some photos

starting a new grow, similar to befor. there are some gdp feminized seeds in the bunch and some other random bag seeds. currently there are 18 small seedlings that i just topped im going to pick 9 eventually and run 9 in 5 gallon pots. i will take some clones later and put them in the aeroponic cloner. here is a photo.

Nice pheno man. I’m running Ken’s GDP. I have a completely green pheno out of 3 seeds. So you crossed a male and females from the same pack? How many did you pop out off your seeds that purpled?

i only did one run with the seeds i had 9 under a 600, i wouldnt say all turned purple but the majority did, i believe its temperature dependent it was much colder the second run. i think as long as you have cold temps at night when the lights are off you should get those dark purple buds thats what i believe i've observed over time.

xox · Aug 12, 2018

They seem to have responded to being topped i still havent completely decided on which 9 i will take all the way in 5 gal pots im sure i'll decide soon in the next week or so. i think they will fill out nicely.

xox · Aug 19, 2018

picked the 9 i want to run with, were looking at 5 gdp, and some other random strains we'll see if theres anything interesting try to take clones of all of them depending on how things go. Also picked up some other strains tga genetics deep purple some mbackcross (Querkle x purple urkle) , cali connection blackwater (og kush x mendo purps) , and some freebie the joker (chemdawg x JTR). Made some canna butter as well going to make some cookies should be fun.

so i got around to making edibles this weekend i took some pictures :joint:

xox · Aug 31, 2018

put some clones for my next run today in the cloning machine and the plants are looking good in the room likely going to flip them soon. also im not an expert but i always thought grand daddy purp was mendo purps x big bud, but i dont believe that anymore every now and then i come across a pheno type that looks like that old school strain ducks foot. it grows similar to ducks foot as well. looks like not a marijuana plant for the majority of its life. anyway here as some pictures. :joint:

xox · Sep 15, 2018

well unfortunately for me almost all of the 9 i kept ended up being male :-(

, so had to scrap them. i ended up only getting one gdp that was female so i made the only move i could i decided to turn the one gdp into a mother to cut clones. i chopped the whole plant into clones and tossed them inside the cloner. oh well cant win them all.

Kami Samurai · Sep 29, 2018

Can you still pop more seeds? Or you can just run those clones SOG style once they root and recover from transplant.

xox · Sep 29, 2018

oh yes i have thousands of seeds, there very uniform aside from the odd trifoliate you will encounter i'd say 1/25 are trifoliate i probably popped a hundred or so to date since i polinated that room a while back i store all my seeds in a container in the fridge with a large silica packet that way the odds of germinating years later are significantly improved rather than just leaving them out. yes thats exactly what i plan to do im going to run those clones sog style and keep the original as a mother. the clones are coming along not to badly put me back a couple months unfortunatly for me. as with every update here are some photos.

xox · Nov 5, 2018

im still alive its been a while since the tragedy of all those males, my clones from the gdp are doing well. i dont have clones anymore in the aero cloner i got 9 nice large ones in the flower room, and 12 tiny ones for the next run next to a mother. mother is looking a little unhappy since i clipped it back and forgot to water it oops oh well im sure it will bounce back. here are some photos

xox · Nov 11, 2018

well its only been a week since i last updated but i thought id take a pic today they've really taken off i've decided to flip the lights today finally back on track :bigjoint:

Good to hear it bud. Did you get around to popping any of your new beans or are you still digging the GDP smoke?

xox · Nov 12, 2018

nah not yet there still in the fridge maby next year i'll pop them. im saving up for a mini split a/c so i can grow all year round. i also want one of these https://www.htgsupply.com/products/under-current-uc4-system im not comfortable growing outside even though its legal i dont think it would be wise having 10' tall plants in the yard poking over the fence for everyone to see. :shock:
